Pat and I will be participating again in Indian Market. From their website: “It is the largest and most prestigious juried Native arts show in the world and the largest cultural event in the southwest. The yearly event is held during the third weekend of August. Over 1,100 Native artists from the U.S. and Canada sell their artwork.” We hope to see you there!

Allison’s show will also be the first new art exhibit at the IPCC since the center marked its 40th anniversary in April 2016. Allison is known for vivid paintings that depict the landscapes, wildlife, architecture, and particularly the people of her native New Mexico, as well as for experimenting with geometric patterns to depict living forms. She deliberately draws from the artistic traditions of Laguna Pueblo in order to enrich her own work.

“As a visual artist it is important to paint my surroundings,” says Allison. “The more I can embrace what the elders of the past found inspiring, the more I can understand about myself and my place as an artist. This show is all new work, and focuses on the design with the lines of pottery and the precision of paint strokes.”

An exhibition of contemporary paintings by Marla Allison, Laguna Pueblo artist. Marla embraces the traditions of Laguna, NM and it’s history from her perspective. She creates her work stroke by stroke to bring a new vision of what is before us and to embrace what our forefathers have created so we can be who we are today.
